JUST THE WAY 1T STANDS.

A gentleman from Kingwood was
talking TO a wealthy and influential
member OF the NJ. +. Church at
Grafton, recently. concerning the
prospects of Preston County, and OF
KingwOOd in particular, when the
following conversation took place:
Kingwood Man-Don't you think
We have pretty town
Grafton Man.-Most certainly :;
the most beautiful town in the State
according to its size, but you lack
one thing.
X. M.-Whacs that
G. M.-Accessibility. You want
above all things else railroad.
X M.-Well, we have had one
partly completed for some time.
G.. M.-Yes, and it stands there
to-day, in its unfinished condition, a
burning disgrace and reproach TO the
monied men of Kingwood, especially
those of them who l understand have
all along opposed its construction.
You could very we'll afford tn be
without men who oppose railroads.
X. M.-Do you think we will get
the Seminary your church proposes
10 erect2
G.. M.-There it is again. You
have healthful location, a moral
community, and have offered liberal
money consideration. Everything
is in your favor except the fact that
there is no way of getting to or
from your town. The matter stands
just this way; As it is. Kingwood
NAY get the Seminary; if you had a
railroad, she would MOST CERTAINLY

THE BLACK BOTTLE RAILROAD.
This railroad seems now to be an
assured fact, Forty miles of the
road has been let, and the contract
ors arc now working on the grading
between Masontown and Morgan
town. They want all the hands and
teams they can get. Two corps OF
surveyors are now engaged in sur.
veying the farms in Valley District
upon which coal leases we're taken
preparatory to taking up and paying
for the same. 1t seems certain that
our friends in Valley are going to be
blessed with railroad, and we are
heartily glad OF It.

Our business Outlook.

Those who still reiterate their fears
that hard times are coming in Florida"
find themselves short of material with
which to support their assertions. The
days for fancy prices and sudden for
tunes made by puffs on paper towns are
gone-the blowhard, the deadbeat and
the professional gambler cannot grow
or farmer who knows his business and
every one Among us who is willing to
get down to steady work, will find the
demand for himself and his wares is
steady and continually increasing to
keep pace with our steady stream of i'm
migration. Ii We have no capital but
our labor we must abandon the idea that
summer trip is a necessity-the mer-
chant who succeeds must study how 10
expand his business instead of his prices
the town which expects to survive
must utilize its advantages-the farmer
must live off his crop instead of his
grocer. If we will all work on ''hard-
grow poorer.
The loss of the orange crop last year
gave an opportunity to the grumblers, of
which they fastened to avail themselves,
but that, as well as the missing tourist"
moan, is now overdone. The Florida
Southern handles large percentage of
the oranges grown in the State, and
conversation with Maj. Conant, General
Manager of that road, enables us to give
figures in proof that we have already
won back what was lost in the greatest
disaster which ever befell our State. Up
to the LIST inst. the Florida Southern had
handled 127. 900 boxes of oranges. and
there had been shipped from the State in
all 500, 900 boxes. This will leave about
300, 900 boxes still IN Florida, making the
crop of 18S6'S7 about 500, 900 boxes. The
largest crop ever shipped was that of
1885, which footed up 900 900, SO that, iH
one gear, we have nearly recovered from
blow which was supposed to have
paraly zed our most important industry
and compelled the people of East Florida
to rely hereafter on her crop Of Yankees"
When such things are said of us, there
is no egotism in telling the truth, and we
are proud of a record which shows we
are st cond to no people in the world
when we are satisfied with the legitimate
results of hard work IN our own line.
We doubt if even the much-vaunted
mining district of Alabama can show
better work and more solid Improvement
in shorter time than our section of Flor
ida. The figures here given are strictly
within the mark, and we can count 81
per box for 500, 900 boxes, and clear
profit over all of 81 per box on the pres
ent crop, without reckoning the in
creased value given to the groves by age,
and the growth of the trees. That will
do for one crop IN one year, on an in
dustry still in its infancy.
